  I'm interested, but have only done a couple of shoddy pieces. I, too, was completely overwhelmed when I looked for directions, etc. Let me know if you find anything useful!

  I'll keep you posted. I'm going to reach out to my cousin and see what he uses. His stuff is really nice.

  Kinda... I am looking at wire wrapping pendants and such.. I'm trying to figure out what wire I buy... any ideas? I know that have certain gauges and flexability.. but can't figure out which to get.  Cute Braclet!!

  I used 22 gauge half hard sterling silver wire to make the bracelet.

  For a necklace, I would suggest looking at 18 or 20 gauge, depending on how thick of a wire you like and the size of the opening in the pendant that you need it to fit through.

  For tools, I would say you need three to start- a wire cutter, a round nose plier, and a chain-nose/needle-nose plier.
